He didn't write that review himself. That's the singer of the band copying the review from some blog. Here's my tip: If you submit a 95% review for your own album, at least write the damn thing yourself!

That album wasn't half bad, I wonder if the singer could have just contacted the original writer and asked him to open an account here and post the review, it wouldn't have taken that much effort and even if that didn't happen, there was enough fan boy reviews of the demo that that album would have a mega ton of praise in the next few weeks.

I get that one-song reviews get leniency for brevity, but this is literally the only descriptive content in the review:

Quote:

While “Nosferatu” has had a slew of pasty facelifts over the years, this version is the barest. Disappearing over time is its eerie, twilight-lurked intro, meanwhile appearing over time are more of the wildly chaotic solos that only sparingly see light of day here. It’s also the only time you’ll hear long lost drummer Harry Tyler curdle the song’s lyrics. Rhythmically all is intact, albeit more inexpertly executed, and the whole thing’s nestled behind one great pencil drawing that gives the song a pointy-eared face.

It reads more like a comparison to later versions of the song than a review, and honestly I have no idea how this version would even sound based on this description.

It almost looks like he went through it and really, really tried to fix the problems, but it is still illegible.

Horrid fanboy reviewer that has nothing to cover about the album musically.

Very subpar. Bad spelling and language, minimal description. There is no shortage of reviews for the album, not even of positive ones (there would still be autothrall's, droneriot's and hells_unicorn's).

Tony, you better check out the Strapping Young Lad - City review by Crossover I posted. That thing is atrocious.

This Cattle Decapitation review by the abysmal Shadow0fDeath is short and without the necessary information to keep such a review around. Just comparisons to the debut album, but not a real way that'd let listeners know the differences besides "overpower". Also, "vokills" are .

It seems well-written enough, but there doesn't really seem to be any real discussion of the music itself beyond that it bares strong similarities to Dissection. If I hadn't already been familiar with Dissection, I'd have absolutely no idea what this band sounded like going solely off of the review.

It could minimally describe the Dissection sound a bit more to make the comparison more understandable, but as it is I don't think it will be nuked as it's the only less than positive review on the album. And it's well written actually.
